Title	Package Surface Contamination in Excess of Reporting Limits
Event Description	The licensee reported receipt of a package of radioactive material with removable surface contamination on the outside of the package greater than the reporting limits of 220 dpm per cm squared. The package contained returned material, Tc-99m (Technetium), that was being shipped back to the company from a nearby customer in Rodchester Hills, MI. A wipe test performed on the external surface of the package indicated a removable contamination level of 583 dpm per cm squared. A survey inspection of the receiving area did not find any contamination and other survey results were inconclusive. The surface contamination appears to be Tc-99m. No personnel contamination resulted from the incident and the package is being stored in a secured area.
